Is Fibro’s Animal Health Worth It?
Because Phibro Animal Health operates in the pharmaceutical sector. We need to calculate the actual value slightly differently. In this approach, dividends per share (DPS) are used because free cash flow is difficult to assess and is often not reported by analysts. This often underestimates the value of the stock.

Since we view Phibro Animal Health as a potential shareholder. Therefore, the cost of equity is used as the discount rate. instead of the cost of capital (or the weighted average cost of capital WACC) representing liabilities In this calculation, we use 6.9%, which is based on a leveraged beta of 0.800 beta, as a measure of stock volatility. compared to the overall market We derived the beta from the industry average beta of comparable companies around the world. With limits set between 0.8 and 2.0, this is a reasonable range for a stable business.
